I'm sure they can have an effect, but to say that they are the only reasons is just ludicrous. When theists speculate on the motivations of atheists, it usually says more about the theist than the actual motivations behind being an atheist.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
